There are two things infinite, the universe and human stupidity, although I
am not too sure about the former.

Welcome to my realm of
controversial sarcastic humour looking at human stupidity from my point of
view.

once upon a time

Okla, so I am gonna talk like I am a damn old man la. You know rite...in my days, when we first started blogging, there weren't so many blogs around. I mean, the fad was growing la, but rite, the number of bloggers were about as much as the number of Eskimos around - not many.

Generally hor, when this blogging thing wasn't that big a fad, the only people who did it were people who wanted to. These days, we have all sorts of characters around the 'sphere.

Back then, we blogged because we loved writting and wanted to rant.

Back then, nobody who started blogging because they wanted to be famous.

Back then, if you told people you wanted to be a famous blogger, they will tell you that you would be better off being a famous vegetable seller.

Back then, there were no such things as famous bloggers, only famous blogs.....good blogs.

Back then, nobody wanted to be a JeffOoi (we wanted to be ourselves, as crappy as we were).

Back then, nobody blogged for an audience.

Back then, nobody started blogs to make friends.

Back then, nobody started blogs to make money.

Back then, nobody went around whoring their blogs.

Back then, everybody knew what to say and how to say it.

Back then, nobody knew what a blogwar was.

Back then, nobody started blogs just because all their friends were doing it.

Err... at least people get to practice writing in english so they can score better in SPM??

A lot of people still say its better to be famous vegetable seller..Actually..I also agree.

But its nice to know that people are reading and you're not sitting and writing to yourself.

Aiyah..actually its very hard not to write for an audience. Personally I started my blog because no one was listening to me complain so I blog so at least maybe 2 people will listen to me whine. So still counted as writing for an audience right? Even if you're writing for 2 people.

Most ppl still blog from the heart...Just kinda boh liao things they have in the heart..

But yah. A lot of ppl also start blogs just coz everyone else is doing it.

was just telling kamigoroshi that it's a good thing for blogging to be a fad cuz then at least people will...bother. but yeah, if blogs these days are there to just make money, get as many hits/comments as possible or because "my best fwen in the whole wide world has a blog" and no one's really interested in saying anything worthwhile anymore...then...quite sad la. =(

hmmm... when people speak of the past and I actually know what they're talking about, I feel old. Back in the days when I was younger and still a student, I had a blog and a couple of hours a day to spare in order to update it. I had a grand time .. and I would rant everyday about my rather strong opinions that I never dared to say out loud.... I was quite the "mulut laser" ...

alynna: Fireangel dropped out of the blogging scene to join the Peace Corps. But never mind. If you check out Minishorts site, in her posting on 15th Sept, she mentioned four female ranters who are quite similar to FireAngels kind of writing. Why don't you check them out?
